I now call for a vote on the motion as amended.

Motion NDM7599 as amended:

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Supports the ambition of Welsh farming to be the most climate and nature friendly in the world and joins with the farming unions in recognising one agricultural pollution incident is one too many.

2. Recognises Welsh farming offers many of the most important solutions to the climate emergency, and many Welsh farmers already exemplify the changes in farming practice needed.

3. Accepts that control of agricultural emissions is an integral part of reaching net zero emissions in Wales and across the UK.

4. Agrees the first step in tackling agricultural emissions is to implement good practice measures already undertaken by the majority of farmers.

5. Further calls on the next Welsh Government to bring forward proposals to tackle pollution in Wales.

Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 28, 12 abstentions and 13 against. The motion as amended is therefore agreed.

A vote, therefore, on the motion as amended. 

Motion NDM7598 as amended:

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Believes that it is unacceptable in a modern society that children still go hungry and that we will continue to step-up all our efforts in the provision of free school meals to stamp out the scourge of poverty and hunger.

2. Welcomes that the Welsh Government:

a) provided over £50 million of additional funding to ensure the continued provision of free school meals during the pandemic and was the first government in the UK to provide provision during school holidays;

b) provided additional funding to ensure that children who are self-isolating or shielding continue to receive free school meal provision when they are not able to attend school;

c) provides funding of £19.50 per week to free school meal-eligible families, which is the most generous provision in the UK;

d) ensured that Wales remains the only country in the UK to have a universal free breakfasts in primary schools scheme;

e) has been recognised by the Education Policy Institute (EPI) for being successful in ensuring families eligible for free school meals during the pandemic had “access to timely and appropriate support”;

f) is committed to a rapid review of all available resource and policy options including the income threshold for receiving free school meals based on the Pupil Level Annual School Census (PLASC) data.

Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 31, three abstentions, 19 against. Therefore, the motion as amended is agreed.
